March is Women's History Month and we are SO ready! From history (we prefer to call it 'herstory') and heroes (sheroes), to empowering your girl to find her voice and be a confident, creative leader: this list has it all. Read on to find out how to celebrate Women's History Month this year!

1. Get a mini history lesson on Women's History month

It's important to know why we're doing what we're doing, right? When we realized we didn't know how this month came about, we Googled super hard and condensed the history of Women's History Month into this quick little list for you!

2. Get your Girl Power Swag

It will shock no one that we love our girl power swag. Check out our brand new Gift Guide: 12 Feminist Gifts for Girls and get something for the girl you love (and/or for yourself...definitely get something for yourself, too!).

5. Better yet: Make your OWN Empowering Vision Statement!

One of our favorite memories when creating Girls With Ideas is a three-hour phone call that resulted in making our very special vision statement. You can download a free frame-able print of it here!

Since then, we've shared our statement with thousands of customers and girls with ideas. But vision statements aren't just for businesses, they're for people, too! We love this article from The Balance, which includes a great list of questions to. ask yourself like:

What three things must you do every single day to feel fulfilled?

What strengths have other people commented on about you and your accomplishments? What strengths do you see in yourself?

As you start to figure out what your vision will include, you can make it pretty using our favorite design site, Canva.com!

6. Write a thank you note to a woman that inspires you

There is seriously nothing more meaningful than telling someone that they've made an impact in your life. Writing it down in a note makes it so that they can keep the words you said forever. Hand-deliver the note or send it in the mail and add a big ball of sunshine to their day!

7. While you're at it, write yourself a love note

We spent a lot of time in February talking about love, especially self-love. Take some time this month to sit down and tell yourself how great you are. If you want to take it to the next level, seal the letter in an envelope, address it to you, and put a stamp on it. Ask someone to mail it to you sometime in the future (but not too soon)! We bet that letter will show up in the mail on a day you need that self-love most!

Then, take those post-it notes and go on a mission to stick them in girls' bathrooms around school, work, or even in a public restroom (ask permission first!)!

9. Read up HER-story and Inspiring Women from the Past!

Women's History Month was founded because women wanted important women from history to be recognized for their accomplishments. There are a ton of phenomenal books that are informative, beautiful, and empowering. Get some of our favorites below and hit the books!

When we wrote the Girls With Ideas curriculum, we were determined to show little girls that there are girls JUST LIKE THEM that are making an impact on the world. It took some strong determination and A LOT of searching, but we found these Idea Girl Videos and are so happy to shine light on their accomplishments!

14. Kick butt and build some muscle

Nothing says YOU GO GIRL like sinking a basket, kicking a goal, or working up a sweat in kickboxing class. Whatever it is, do something that'll make you feel like a powerful, strong she-boss!

15. Then Flex your Creative Muscles!

We believe that creativity is a skill that CAN be taught AND that a creative girl is a confident girl.

Taking time to practice creativity, a skill that's often overlooked and put aside in today's fast-paced and achievement-focused world, can build your confidence tenfold.

For just a few bucks and in less than 30 minutes, you can strengthen your creative muscle using our easy-to-use guide!

21. Donate your time, talent or treasure to organizations that support girls

There are three major ways to show an organization that you support their mission: give them time by showing up to serve, talent by using your skill set to help out, or treasure by making a financial contribution.

Volunteering and making donations with girls shows them how valuable giving back to the community is and makes them far more likely to continue the tradition as an adult. Find a service organization in your community or check out these awesome orgs you can donate to online!

22. Start A Girls With Ideas Group

23. Write Your Representative

No matter your age, the news is a lot to take in these days. There's a lot happening politically that kids can have an opinion on, and what better way to help them feel empowered than to write their representative? We found these ADORABLE postcards from Alpha Mom and a great blog post that will help you talk to your girl about the issues she wants to write her representative about.

25. Speaking of speaking up, help her Find Her Voice!

Our newest (and crazy-popular!) product is an activity guide called "Finding Her Voice." We are overwhelmed at the positive response parents and educators have had to this download!

This guide was designed to be done one-on-one with a girl to help her learn how to communicate in a healthy, positive way.

This download includes eight, 30-minute activities that are not only explained in full detail, but also include a little script and talking points you can use to know what to say! Additionally, there is a workbook called an Idea Book included so she'll have lots of space to work through the activities and reflect on her own.

Help a girl you love find her voice and learn to speak up!

26. Subscribe to our favorite Idea Girl's Magazine: Rookie

Rookieis a magazine and book series founded by a real life girlboss, Tavi Gevinson. When she was 12-years-old, she started a fashion blog that has bloomed into a wonderful online and print publication for girls, tweens, and women alike!

27. Women's History? There's an App for that.

Technology is one heckuva beautiful thing! Now you can download the Field Trip app and turn on the "Women on the Map" feature created by Spark to get an alert when you're near a place where a woman made history!

Then, head out on a scavenger hunt and see if you can find spots around town where sheroes stood!

30. Get a Girlboss Guest Speaker

Women's History Month isn't just about women who made history, it's also about women who are out there making it. Mentorship is one of THE most successful keys to women's success and it's never too early to help a girl find a meaningful mentorship.

Look up women leaders in your local community, ask girls to invite their mentor to speak, or even consider having Girls With Ideas speak or Skype into your girl group!

Here are some questions to ask your guest speaker to inspire your girls to #getit!

Who is your female role model? Why?

What challenges have you faced as a woman doing what you do?

What advice do you have for girls my/our age?

Why do you think it is important for girls to be leaders?

How can a girl who wants to do what you're doing someday prepare herself to follow in your footsteps?

31. Treat Yo Self

Listen, it can be hard to be a girl. Take a day to yourself this March and do whatever recharges your batteries: give yourself a spa day, read a book, take the longest shower of your life--whatever makes you happy!
